Sick Beauty Gives Up Struggle [Rebirth]

Long Street is a very inconspicuous old community in City A. The community has no walls, but is surrounded by simple iron railings.

There are only four buildings in the community, and the style is still the same as it was 40 years ago. The bright red paint on the floors is mottled and faded, and the faded places are also stained with black oily smoke.

The windows of each house are small square lattices, which have not been cleaned for many years. The lattice windows are also dark, and it is impossible to see the inside without curtains.

There were occasional cracks in a few windows, and the cracks were covered with dust, but no one had replaced them.

The asphalt road entering the community is not smooth, with potholes and ups and downs. The traces of cracks spread from the curved bars of the community gate to the entrance of the unit covered with colorful advertisements.

The illegal construction situation in the community is very serious. Basically, the first floor has been converted into small shops, selling fruits, vegetables, scones, soy milk, and steamed buns.

The weather suddenly warmed, and the mosquitoes revived. A few listless flies surrounded the fruits displayed in the small store. The ground was filled with a puddle of sewage from nowhere all the year round. If you got closer, there was still an unexplainable scent floating in the melon and fruit aroma. The rancid smell.

Near University A are mostly newly built school district houses and high-end residences in the past few years. There are also two particularly bustling and lively shopping plazas in the surrounding area, which contain all kinds of luxury brands.

This old community is completely out of place with the surrounding facilities. Its only advantage is probably that it is enclosed in the school district and has convenient transportation.

Early on Saturday morning, the storefronts on the first floor opened their curtains early for business. The neighborhood was filled with fragrance and heat, and the already dark walls were covered with a layer of white mist.

With one arm hanging down, Xu Tanghui struggled to pick up the old paper shells and plastic bottles with liquid in the trash can with only the other hand, and put them in a sack with the words "fertilizer" written on them.

After picking up less than half a sack, her waist couldn't stand it anymore. After all, she was getting older and her body was not as flexible as when she was young. She straightened up, leaned back hard, put her hands on her waist, and hammered heavily. hammer.

But Xu Tanghui wrinkled her face in pain because she accidentally pulled the injured muscle in her left hand, raised her left shoulder slightly, and swallowed the pain after a while.

Looking at the tatters in the fertilizer bag, which probably won't cost much, she sighed softly, fiddled with her slightly curly short hair, and sniffed.

She had naturally cried during this period, but she had known for a long time that crying could not solve any problems, and crying could not bring any help.

Vulnerability and grievances are all for oneself, and others will not leave a look.

But she doesn't regret it either.

She has been obsessed with one thing all her life, and never thought of giving up. Others think she is more serious, think she is crazy, and it doesn't matter if she thinks she is mentally abnormal. She lives her own life and has nothing to do with others.

So even if she suffers from what happened ten years ago again, she will never be defeated.

It's just one more time, she has long been numb from the injury.

But Li Rong can't do it, Li Rong still has a beautiful and bright future, she still has lofty and grand dreams, and she still has the determination to fight for the truth, so she must not be the one who drags her back.

She is willing to use up her last spare heat to do something worthless for Professor Li.

She doesn't want Li Rong to come to her, doesn't want Li Rong to blame herself, that's all she can help, she can only pray for the future, if Li Rong encounters difficulties again, there will be someone like her to lend a helping hand .

Thinking about it, Xu Tanghui's eyes became a little hot again, she took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears.

"Sister Hui, don't do it before your hand is healed. I have a carton of a water bottle at my house and I'll take it to your door."

When Xu Tanghui heard someone talking to her, she immediately closed her eyes a few times, rubbed her red nose with the back of her clean hand, turned her face, and put on a gentle smile: "Sister, you are going out ?”

The woman was stepping on one pedal of the bicycle, and there was a restless little girl sitting in the back seat of the bicycle. The little girl was pulling the spring coil under the seat, shaking back and forth.

The woman's car basket has been remodeled to a large size, and it is full of odds and ends such as mobile phone cases, earphones, mobile phone film, and key chains.

The woman took a look at Xu Tanghui and knew that she had cried just now.

Thinking of the crazy scenes last month, the woman sighed: "Your arm, you really should ask the guard to pay for it. How can you do that? You beat people without mentioning the mess."

Xu Tanghui waved his hands and said in a good temper: "He didn't push me on purpose, I didn't stand still, I tripped over a wheel and fell myself."

The woman felt sorry for Xu Tanghui, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only sigh one after another, with a sad face on her face: "If you want me to tell you, you don't need to be obsessed with the shit that happened more than ten years ago. You can sell the house in this school district, take a sum of money, and go back to your hometown to live a good life." .You and your brother-in-law won’t get divorced when you go back a few years ago, maybe your children are all in school, so what’s bothering you.”

Xu Tanghui lowered her eyes, moved her dirty fingers twice, smiled shyly, and avoided the woman's question: "Is your house easy to sell?"

If she was willing to leave, she would have left long ago.

The reason why I have been staying here is because of the hurdle in my heart.

The woman looked a little lonely when she heard the words, and shook her head heavily: "There are a few people who want to buy, but the bid is not high, so I didn't agree. Although the conditions in our community are not good, I think it might be demolished in a few years." , still has potential."

The little girl was too young to know her mother's worries. She pulled the car seat, tried her best to lean back, tilted her head, and showed a bright sweet smile at Xu Tanghui.

Xu Tanghui raised the injured but clean left hand, shook it stiffly at the little girl, and then asked the woman, "Is the child's medicine...is it enough?"

The woman was silent for a while, and smiled wryly: "It's not enough, otherwise I can't sell this house in a hurry."

Xu Tanghui had no choice but to comfort her: "Maybe it will be reimbursed in two years, and that will be much better."

The woman shook her head: "I read the news, and I also asked the doctor. The research and development cost of Jiaketing is too high. It will take at least ten years for the pharmaceutical factory to pay back the cost. It is impossible to reimburse the cost before it is paid back. Anyway, now... There are seven years left, what can we do, the child has to use it, and I don’t know if we can survive until the price of the medicine comes down.”

About ten years ago, a bacterial progeria suddenly broke out across the country. This progeria only spread among children under the age of six with weak resistance. It is said that some kind of bacteria that can disorder genes will promote persistent hypothyroidism in patients , resulting in irreversible individual aging.

The woman's daughter suffered from this disease. One day she found that her daughter's skin seemed to be dehydrated rapidly, and she was not as delicate as a normal child at all. She hurriedly took her daughter to the hospital, and was diagnosed with bacterial progeria on the same day.

At present, there is only one drug for targeted treatment on the market, which is Jiaketing, which was developed by Suhe Biotech for more than seven years at a cost of one billion.

This medicine can effectively inhibit premature aging. One pill a week can ensure that patients are not beneficial to normal people, but this medicine can only be maintained and cannot be cured, which means that patients need to take medicine for life. Once the medicine is stopped, they will continue to age.

Due to the high cost of development, Jiaketing is expensive, and not everyone can afford this drug. Over the past few years, there have been endless news about sick children being abandoned. Sometimes it is not the parents who are cruel, but the welfare In the hospital, it is possible to take this medicine and stay by my side, but there is nothing to do.

The little girl's eyes are round and black, her lips are plump and ruddy, and she smiles extremely cutely.

She took a deep breath of air, puffed her face, then closed her lips tightly, raised her head, pouted suddenly, and blew hard at a bug.

Xiao Chong was blown away by her and fled, she giggled.

The woman said helplessly: "It would be great if that Lu Yinxu wasn't a liar. I really thought it was a life-saving medicine at first, but it turned out..."

Xu Tanghui raised her eyes sensitively when she heard the word Lu Yinxu: "You said the medicine made by Professor Li."

The woman sneered: "That's why you still call him Professor Li. I listened to his interview at the time, and I really thought that a cure-all medicine had been developed. He said so confidently, and he guaranteed that most people would be able to afford it. Do you know how cruel it is to give people hope and then let them down?"

Xu Tanghui moved her lips, wanting to argue for Li Qingli, but from the perspective of a friend, she also understood the feelings of women.

Li Qingli is kind to her, she is willing to believe and understand, but she cannot force everyone to be like her.

The little girl finally got impatient with waiting, she put her face against the woman's back, rubbed it hard, and shouted: "Mom, can you go, can you go!"

The woman looked at the time, and it was time to occupy the booth. There were many people going to the square on weekends to relax, and maybe they could make more money.

The woman straddled the bicycle, pressed a large pile of bundled goods in the basket, and stepped on the pedal with one foot: "Sister Hui, I'm leaving first, by the way, a student said two days ago You know me very well, so I asked me where you live, I thought he was quite decent, and he didn't seem to have a bad heart, so I told him."

Xu Tanghui was confused: "What student?"

The woman pondered for a while, and didn't know where to start to describe it. The little girl in the back seat said excitedly: "Beautiful little brother! Long hair, big eyes." Then, she gestured with two fingers on the side of her neck. The position, in her concept, is long hair.

Xu Tanghui's face changed slightly.

The woman got up the bike, turned right and left, and said goodbye to Xu Tanghui with one hand: "See you sister Hui tonight."

Xu Tanghui stood under the sun for a long time with a fertilizer bag in her hand. Her eye sockets were astringent and her temples were sweating under the dazzling sunlight. Amidst the shouting of vendors on the first floor, she raised her eyes and saw the familiar man, Li Rong. figure.

It was also the first time for Li Rong to come to this kind of community.

He walked past piles of cracked bricks and stones without changing his expression, stepped through the yellow-green stagnant water, turned a deaf ear to the chants and yells, stepped on the cracked asphalt road, and pushed aside the untrimmed and randomly branched roads. Willow Twig, walked towards Xu Tanghui.

He stood in front of Xu Tanghui, with a light-colored gown fluttering in the breeze, soft hair tucked behind his ears, a pair of clear and bright eyes, and a calm smile on his face.

"Aunt Hui."

Xu Tanghui's heart was sore, her throat was stuffy and painful, she said angrily and anxiously: "You child, why did you come to me?"

Li Rong's eyes moved down and fell on Xu Tanghui's bloodshot and red left hand drooping, his eyes were a bit cold.

"Did they do the injury?"

Xu Tanghui immediately put her left hand on her back, and she was on the verge of crying: "Don't worry about it, Auntie has nothing to do, this matter is over, they don't have evidence, they can't do anything to me at all!"

"Why not?" Li Rong frowned, his eyelids were deeply folded, and there was deep anger in his eyes, "Didn't they wrong you? Then this matter will not go through."

Xu Tanghui was suddenly speechless, and warm tears slipped from the corners of her finely lined eyes, slid across her dry and red cheeks, and fell on the road full of broken leaves and dirt.

She values ​​her reputation the most, otherwise she wouldn't have set up a stall in University A for ten years.

Now she has lost her reputation again, and this time, she had already planned to give up for Li Rong.

She could be wronged, kicked out of University A, and lose her only support for ten years. She had already convinced herself within this month and made all the mental preparations.

But now Li Rong came to tell her that this matter should not go away, just because she was wronged.

Li Rong stepped forward, gently wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of Xu Tanghui's eyes, then took her rough and muddy right hand, and said softly: "I won't make you wait another ten years, we will take revenge now go back."
